Jules and Jim - abstract, diptych- 2 Original Polaroids - Unique Pieces

About the Item

Jules and Jim (Renée's Dream) - 2005 2 Original Polaroids - Unique Pieces 1/1. 3 x 10.7 x 8.7 cm. Signed on back. This rare offering from Stefanie Schneider presents two original Polaroids from her 2005 series Jules and Jim (Renée's Dream)—a departure from her usual practice of enlarging Polaroids in the darkroom. Traditionally, Schneider’s work is characterized by the stunning transformation of these instant images into larger-than-life pieces, yet here, she offers a glimpse into the raw, intimate essence of her artistic process by showcasing the originals themselves. These two original Polaroids—unique pieces, signed on the back—retain all the inherent charm and imperfections that are often amplified in her larger works. The size of the Polaroids, 3 x 10.7 x 8.7 cm, captures the immediacy and fleeting nature of the moment. Each image is a tangible fragment of Schneider's creative world, offering an unfiltered connection to the artist’s vision. These Polaroids are the very beginnings, the untouched nucleus of what her larger works evolve from, and as such, they hold an especially precious place within her oeuvre. In Jules and Jim (Renée's Dream), the raw quality of the original Polaroids intensifies the emotional depth of the narrative. The chemical quirks and the hazy, dreamlike quality of expired Polaroid film, combined with the vulnerability of the medium, create a sense of ethereal beauty that resonates deeply with the viewer. These images invite a direct, almost tactile engagement with Schneider's art, connecting the audience to the moment captured in time—before the layers of translation and enlargement take place. In offering the original Polaroids, Schneider allows collectors to own a piece of her process, an authentic encounter with the imperfect beauty that defines her work. It's an invitation to experience the artwork in its most immediate form, a rare opportunity to witness the heart of Schneider's practice before it transforms into something more substantial, something larger, yet somehow further removed from the fleeting magic of the instant.
